Peanut Butter and Banana Pudding Pie: The Ultimate Summer Fusion We’ve Been Waiting For

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: banana pudding is a must-have at any summer picnic or potluck.

You know the one.

It’s usually brought by a beloved grandmother or that one aunt who’s never quite willing to give up the exact recipe. You know, the really good stuff. Summer used to feel incomplete without it.

But as we grow older, we visit 'home' less often. We start creating our own seasonal rituals — something fresh, but with a familiar feel. It’s a slight twist, an evolution. I’m hoping this Peanut Butter and Banana Pudding Pie becomes that new tradition for me (and maybe for you) this summer.

It’s no secret that peanut butter and banana are a legendary pair. Peanut butter pie is a crowd-pleaser, and as we’ve already said, summer wouldn’t be summer without banana pudding. So, what could possibly go wrong when you combine them all into one dessert?

Spoiler alert: You can’t go wrong.

Here are the key details that will make this dessert stand out and ensure your success:

Choose the Right Pie Dish

This recipe calls for a deep-dish pie dish, and trust me, you really should use a deep-dish pie plate. Some might think this is obvious, but if you've ever skimmed through a recipe and missed an important detail, well, you're better than I am. The reality is, the ingredient quantities here will overflow a standard 9-inch pie pan (which usually has a depth of about 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inches), and nobody wants to clean up that mess. Personally, I love the ceramic Emile Henry Modern Classics Pie Dish — it's one of our top picks for pie baking.
